Swedish police have not been able to question the cleaning lady suspected of stealing a train and ramming it into an apartment block on Tuesday, as she is still being treated for her injuries.

"It's priority number one for our investigators to interview this person," police spokesman Lars Byström told the TT news agency.

The young cleaner, who is said to be in her early 20s, managed to take the train from its depot on the Saltsjöbaden commuter line that connects central Stockholm to the upscale archipelago neighbourhood.
